Why Roof Inspections Matter in Glendale
Living in Glendale means experiencing a unique microclimate that significantly impacts your roof’s longevity. Its location, with its proximity to both mountain ranges and urban heat islands, creates distinct weather patterns that can accelerate roof wear in ways many homeowners don’t anticipate. Inspecting roofs in this area has shown us just how hard the intense summer heat well over 100°F in some neighborhoods coupled with the occasional winter downpours and strong gusts blowing through the Verdugo Mountains can create a perfect storm of conditions that test even the most robust roofing systems. The real estate market in Glendale has always proven that homes with well-maintained roofs command higher resale values. we have seen as much as a 3-5% difference in final sale price between homes with documented regular roof maintenance and those without. This represents a possible gain or loss of $30,000-$50,000 on the average Glendale home.

Before we get up on that roof to start our inspection, we’ll consider which local weather patterns tend to do the most damage.
